Hi Friends, We got our new vinyl pool started up and we love it but our Pentair IC-40 SWG can’t seem to get above 3000. According to the manual we should be at 3600-4000 but we are at 2980. They already replaced the salt cell once and said the first one was “bad” but I’m beginning to wonder if...

Hey all, When this pool is done I'll be making a hefty donation to TFP, that's for sure. Our PB has been slow to respond to slide placement options and we would like to do the Typhoon. He said that it cannot go over our Coverstar auto cover, but here on a competing pool builder's website...

After @mknauss suggested that Pentair equipment would be easier for us to work on ourselves, our PB said no problem and changed all of our Jandy equipment to Pentair. This is the new list of what we will be installing in our 18x40 Vinyl-lined pool in SE Minnesota. Does this all look like quality...

Our pool builder just dropped a bomb on us and told us that our shallow end can’t be deeper than 3’ due to the construction requirements. This was news to us and feels like it came out of left field since we had consistently told him we were still deciding what depths we wanted. When we asked...

Hey all, Many of you noted that our concrete price at $13/sq ft was very high and we agreed. We are doing an 18x40 vinyl-lined pool, SWG in SE Minnesota and we found two concrete guys who came recommended at $6-7 sq. ft. They both said they have done "a few" pools but this leads me to...

Hello, TFP members! Long time Houzz user here and I have appreciated that group there so much, all who pointed me to this group of folks to help us troubleshoot a new pool build in Minnesota. We just settled on our pool builder who has a good reputation and builds a lot of pools in the Midwest...

Hello, We are in Minnesota and just signed on the dotted line for an 18x40 vinyl pool. We aren't doing anything too fancy, maybe some deck jets and looking for a great slide for our kids, ages 7 and 3. The Turbo Twister is in the running and we haven't decided our depth or really much of...
